The recent debt ceiling crisis in the US would be funny if not so serious.
An extra trillion dollars would have solved the problem. The Gulf war cost
the US almost a trillion dollars and not one weapon of mass destruction was
found.
See
http://bertc.com/subfour/truth/boneyard.htm for some of those costs.
Now, the Republicans want massive cuts to virtually all parts of the budget
except the military. The cut I would make would be to cut military
expenditures by 10% a year for the next five years.

Americans are struggling with our identity more now than ever before. The
Civil WSar was the greatet experience of identity confusion. but this
current one may be worse. Sooner or later, the “bullies” will pick up guns
through their “Militias”. Bullyin os rampant in US schools today. Child
behavior is always a percusor or reflection of adult life. While Allen
Dulles was gutting freedom in South America, the most popular kids show was
Davy Crockett. During Nixon’s terms, the most populr show was Mission
Impossibke. The 911 attacks were equivalent to the burning of the German
parliment building for Germans. The Deficit Debate sealed our fate–we have
become a country that will no longer work peacefully or together for a
national identity–an identity which is fair and equitable. The financial
crisis was the same. big money was allowed to create a system to move
trillions of dollars into their pockeys.(See Janet Morriossey, Time
Magazine, March 2008). If you want to read more, I have a blog at
